Two Supervisors Are Arrested After Sweep At Meat Plant
Earlier this month, in Iowa, two supervisors at a kosher meatpacking plant where hundreds of illegal immigrants were rounded up in May were arrested on criminal immigration charges. I believe this is just the first of many such management arrests to come. Employers are not going to be able to continue to pretend that hundreds of unauthorized aliens got jobs at their plants without management being aware of the employees immigration status.
As managers higher up in the chain of command are arrested, I predict business owners will put increasing pressure on politicians for comprehensive immigration reform. Everyone knows the current system is broken. We just need some political courage to come up with an improved system.
